Attempts to perform the OsO<sub>4</sub>-catalyzed enantioselective base-free aminohydroxylation of β,β-disubstituted enoates are described. Low yields and racemic products were obtained in the presence of standard chiral ligands, suggesting the occurrence of a "Second Cycle" process due to slow hydrolysis of the amino alcohol product from the Os metal center. Support for this hypothesis was provided by the slightly improved enantioselectivity (60:40 er) obtained with an amino alcohol ligand. Bas ...[more]
